Chapter Five- Baseball Practice
Alice awoke with visions of Jasper on the baseball field with the automatic pitcher, alone, practising. She snapped back to reality and saw that Jasper's side of the bed was vacant, so she got up, got dressed in two seconds flat and went to the baseball field, where, sure enough, Jasper, the love of her life, was having batting practice with the automatic pitcher. Relieved to see her mate alive and well, she stood by and watched him. A large smiled appeared on his face as he swung and hit a ball so hard it exploded mid-air. Alice applauded.
"whoa nice shot baby!"
He chuckled and his face immediately went serious again
"I just came out here to get away from Rosalie, she still hates me"
Alice snorted.
"Rosalie hates everyone babe, you just have to not let her get to you" she told him as she wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him tight.
"I had a vision about you and got worried when I woke up and you weren't next to me"
He lifted her chin with his finger to make her look up at him
"I'm sorry I didn't wake you, I'm fine, I promise. I just went for an early hunt and Rosalie followed me"
"She followed you?! Why on earth would she do that?!"
"Edward said she's suspicious that I haven't fully adapted to the vegetarian Vampire way of life"
Alice snorted again
"She should know that vampires can't adapt to a new diet overnight!" she complained, she was mad now.
"I'll talk to her, I wouldn't threaten this family by introducing someone I didn't trust into it"
"I know, it's ok, I understand" he said, stroking her hair and looking into her eyes.
"Come on let's play, I'll be the pitcher" she said as she ran 100 metres away with her glove and a ball. Jasper chuckled as he got his bat ready.
